I've seen some random and cruel stuff, but...

You would get life because you stabbed a baby on the way into the 7-11.

Somehow, I found this funny.
NoOne's to-do list
1. Buy bread and milk
2. Pick-up dry cleaning
3. Stab baby.

Only if #4 was shoot the clerk because he is black, then take the money in the register to make it look like a robbery.

Any psychologist would say that rape has little to do to with physical assult.

No, I wouldn't.
It's my position that ALL intentional killing, and ATTEMPTED intentional killing, be punished equally, at the highest maximum level allowed by law--unless it was done to protect life and limb.
Anything less requires interpretation, or outright guessing.
Just because I TRIED to kill a black person for being black, and failed due to my own incompetence, doesn't mean I should get a lesser sentence.
I MEANT to kill them, therefore I should be tried exactly as if the attempt had been successful.
Hitting someone in the leg with a baseball bat is Assault With a Deadly Weapon.
Hitting them in the head is Attempted Murder.
Here's another scenario for you.
Suppose I decide to go out and shoot a black guy for no reason.
Further suppose I'm a bad shot, and only blow his arm off.
If I claim in court that I MEANT to blow his arm off, your system would try me for Assault With a Deadly Weapon.
Mine would try me for Attempted Murder.
If you were a member of the same community as the victim, which would give you a greater sense of security, knowing that any attempt to kill you would be tried as if it succeeded, or that it must succeed to be tried as a success?
ChadTower:
Wouldn't your court try him for actual Murder, since by your definition, Attempted Murder is equal to Murder?
